@lelia_glass Indeed. When I first came to know this Korean long negation, I was surprised that “not” is actually used as a verb/auxiliary.

[Linmin @LinminZhang]

@lelia_glass Korean has a long negation and a short negation. Their long negation is like “baby something have not” — “not” is the main verb that has inflection on it. their short negation is like “baby something not have” — “not” looks like an adverb, and “have” has inflection.

@lelia_glass Sounds like Korean and Japanese

@langofmind Visual perception is not linear. Also We don’t read words letter by letter.

@wmatchin @chrishammerly No. Syntax is syntactic sugar for semantic compositionality 😂

@latinamnonvoco Congratulations 🎉

[Linmin @LinminZhang]

@EvelinaLeivada @_jennhu I agree with you. Just putting a label on others’ work and rejecting with the use of this label sounds really weird.

[Linmin @LinminZhang]

@wmatchin No

@HadasKotek So I dreamt of you last night. We were playing together, and then we had a dinner at a small restaurant, eating fried fish. Maybe in my dream, we hang out like kitties 🥰

[Linmin @LinminZhang]

@HadasKotek I started new hobbies, and they’ve brought me new online friends. Then with some of them, who live in the same city as me, we started meeting in real life … in many cities around the world, I also feel like I have a friend there …

@samuelmehr Linguists did the same a few years ago. The editors of Lingua started a new journal: Glossa.

@rhenderson Korean has similar NPIs as well I think

@not__real___egg Wow it’s me who left this comment. I think Papago translated quite well what I mean 😂😂😂

@KevinAbroad1 Honorifics in Korean. It’s not the concept that’s difficult. It’s the development of the natural habitude of using them that’s difficult for me

Now I have a new dog whistle example: A4

@brianbuccola Great idea! I should assign this as the first homework assignment in future semesters 😂

[Linmin @LinminZhang]

I use the movie “the prestige” to illustrate the idea of movement: you create a copy of yourself at the destination and kill the one at the original place

[Brian Buccola 💚 @brianbuccola]

one of the greatest semantics homework assignments

@yimei_xiang If I don’t have to, I probably won’t choose to pay open access fee for journal publication. But in some fields, it’s often required to pay publication fee.
